This is imo not austrian ss, this i very early ss. They often use this type of jackets, only a armband nothing more. And the troops was used for security ect. Nice picture!

He He i think so, because when you see the faces of the peopel there on the pictures, it only can be austria But so at this time the NSDAP was not permit in austria, so maybe i am right

To just see faces and differentiate between Germany and Austria is fantastic.

Whoever they are, they're true believers!

Ha!

Those poor Austrians are being forced to salute by those evil Nazi's or they will be punished.

That Girl is nearly in tears as she obediently raises her right and in a forced Salute to her new German Masters. (It's all in the SPIN Boys).

Just an Elvis performance (in the beginning of his career)... The fan phenomenon began those days... You can see neurotic and hysteric fans crying. Dammit, Elvis was only three...

Nice pic Robin.

Superb utilization of the most advanced racial science. Hmm, some Dusky Alpine extraction to be seen or is it Dinaric? Do I see an example or two of the roundheaded Saxon?
We need to measure those craniums ...
A pity(es tut mir lied) about the Wendish-Slavic Asiatic und Askenazy strain infusion.

I had relatives (passed away now) who were in those crowds at the Hofsburg at this time, they had fascinating stories, some true believers, and true believers always had a circle of friends who were true believers, and had nice items

Tunic

It is interesting to see the odd cut of this tunic. The angle of the upper collar where the tabs would be placed is inconsistent with typical allgemeine tunics. Notice how the border of the collar angles upward instead of down consistent with collar tab placement. I think his uniform was probably just a black suit jacket worn to simulate the look of an ss tunic.
